A brand new approach to Activity Camps in an idyllic mountain setting, encouraging both diversity of experiences and better focus on favorite activities.

THE ACTIVITY "CLUBS"

Outdoor Adventure Club

This is a programme that takes full advantage of the opportunities provided by our unbelievable setting in the Swiss Alps giving campers a chance to participate in a range of activities that are rarely available together in one setting.
Every weekday morning is made up of exciting outdoor activities that range from biking through mountain paths, white water rafting or hiking up in the mountains to spend the night in our mountain hut.

With activities that start from our base just above Leysin to excursions a little further a field, including white water rafting, high ropes course and mountain hut overnight, this camp offers something for every active camper whether they are experienced or simply interested in exciting outdoor activities.

Every day is an adventure and the focus of this camp is not only to have fun with these amazing activities but to develop and refine the skills needed to properly and safely enjoy the outdoors. Our well trained staff adjusts the level of each activity to the skills and experience of each camper, making sure it is both thrilling and safe, while teaching and coaching them in ways that give the camper assurance and self confidence.

The important benefits to campers include developing greater self-esteem, stronger bonding with new friends and counselors and increased self-confidence. These are strong qualities of good leaders and will have a positive affect on campers' future lives.

In the afternoons and evenings the campers are given the opportunity to join in the other camp activities or, at times, carry on with the outdoor pursuits that they enjoy so much.

Sports Club

This programme is designed for the active camper who loves sports. With a pre-set sporting programme in the morning and the broader based camp activities in the afternoon campers are given the chance to focus on sports but still experience the other exciting activities camp has to offer.

With the numerous sports facilities in Leysin we are able to offer our campers a chance to play, develop skills in, and discover a multitude of sports activities.

Every weekday morning the campers in the Sports camp will be participating in their favourite sports activities, developing skills and trying out new sports. Our experienced and qualified staff will lead the campers in the different sporting activities developing and understanding team work and helping them develop new skills as well as working with them at improving at sports they are already familiar with.

In the afternoons and evenings the campers are given the opportunity to join in the other more varied camp activities or, at times, carry on with the sporting activities they enjoy so much.

Dance Club

For campers who love modern dance and performing. This programme is designed for campers who want to create, rehearse and ultimately perform various numbers and shows during camp.

For 3 hours every weekday the campers meet in the grand salon to work on performances that will be presented to the rest of camp at various times during the session culminating with a Gala performance on our final Prom Night.

Incorporating many different styles of dance and performance art the campers will be spending their mornings developing numbers, choosing music, working on choreography, designing and making costumes and of course, rehearsal.

All of this under the supervision of our very experienced programme director and staff who have designed a programme that gives the campers an opportunity to learn different dance styles, use their creativity and also learn the importance of dedication, determination and team work.

Whether you are a trained dancer or someone who just likes to move to the music this dance programme has something for you. Our professional staff works with every camper’s skill level to help them achieve the confidence and pride that comes after a great performance.

In the afternoons and evenings the music campers join the other campers participating in the variety of other camp activities on offer.
